The Northern Star

Anonymous


A Tynemouth Ship THE NORTHERN STAR
Sailed over the bar
Bound to the Baltic Sea;
In the morning gray
She stretched away;—	5
’T was a weary day to me!

For many an hour
In sleet and shower
By the lighthouse rock I stray;
And watch till dark	10
For the wingéd bark
Of him that is far away.

The castle’s bound
I wander round,
Amidst the grassy graves:	15
But all I hear
Is the north-wind drear,
And all I see are the waves.

The Northern Star
Is set afar!	20
Set in the Baltic Sea:
And the waves have spread
The sandy bed
That holds my Love from me. END OF VOL. III.
